Can anyone help me identify my battery fill system?
My new to me 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire 4304 has this pictured battery fill system on the house batteries. What is pictured is all the parts I have. I guess there is some sort of supply hose and a pump of some sort missing. Can anyone tell me what system this is and what's needed for me to complete it in order to use it? Thanks so much!
Also, yes, I'm aware the battery compartment is a mess! Finishing the battery fill system is a part of the complete and total overhaul of the compartment. Total disassembly, strip and paint, fix the bearings on the drawer slide, clean all terminals and cables, proper color ends on cables, etc.

I don't know what system it is but I'm curious if you have removed the cell covers and actually checked the water levels in those batteries?
I noticed the batteries are brand new.

Also.....
Also, when cleaning the compartment up, I'd like to also tidy up this mess, which is the compartment below and to the right of the battery compartment.
Can any of you Newmar guys (or anyone else, for that matter) tell me what components these are?
(The pics loaded sideways, no idea why or how to fix it, sorry!)

They are brand new. When I had the coach inspected for purchase the old batteries came up weak and one of the conditions of the sale was for the owner to replace them. Once these go bad I'll go with new AGM coach batteries to go along with the current new AGM chassis batteries so the corrosion mess won't be a factor anymore, but for now I can't see tossing away brand new batteries.

If no one knows what watering system this is, can anyone tell me if all the bulb type pumps and hoses are fairly universal fit? I have to get a bulb pump and hose to use it and I want to make sure whatever I pick up will work. Any input anyone has is greatly appreciated.

Your system is the old style, commonly seen on golf carts.
the company is good to work with.

Those pictures tell me that device is related to your Allison transmission.

The pics look like part of your engine ECM to me. Totally a guess though.
edit; On second thought it's probably transmission related according to my google search.

Thank you, guys. I also Googled the numbers on the ECU looking unit. It came up with a Allison function. I'm guessing it's the electronic control unit for the transmission. No numbers on the other black plastic box, nor ideas for the function of the row of relays. The small compartment they're all mounted in is a mess, I have to try to clean it without getting any of that stuff wet.

Keep a close eye on that watering system. All it takes is one cell going dry to toast your battery.

Will do, thanks! Are systems like this known to leave a cell or two low?

Allot depends on the charger. If the absorb voltage is too high you find yourself filling on a monthly basis.
